December 21, 200817 yr Still, the bottom number is the most important of the two, and at 80, you are ok.These days, they're leaning toward the top number being the more important. But it seems to change like the weather, so stay tuned.
December 21, 200817 yr Author How old are you gry? 37 and I exercise/lift 3 days a week. My diet could get better.

December 23, 200817 yr FF and I just had this conversation a couple days ago lol. We got a bad batch of bags and complained to the company and they sent us a coupon for a the biggest box they have for free. Well we just finished that box and now we had to go get more bags, they are expensive. He was like maybe you should complain again and get another coupon lol. As for you BP I would watch it and if you feel it gets higher than talk to your Dr. We also bought a defective box of Glad garbage bags and got a coupon for a free box from the company. Maybe they are cutting costs. The red string would break, even if the bag was 1/2 full. I bought Hefty this time.
December 23, 200817 yr I think blood pressure readings can depend on the environment you're in at the time. I had mine taken at work during a screening and it was high. Of course I was standing in a line like a heard of elephants patiently waiting for the crew to get set up. It was hot and I had my coat and had to walk to another building. I went to my doctor's office and it was fine.
December 23, 200817 yr I dont know how reliable that machine is but it had me at 131/80. I read the chart and it says I am in pre-hypertension area which is 130 to 150. Any nurses/Docs on here who can tell me how legit those readings are and if that is considered high. I would also like to hear what some of you BGPers have had read the last time you went to the Doc or hit up a Kroger. You didn't put a quarter in to make it work did you? :lol:
December 23, 200817 yr I get my BP check everytime I'm in Kroger or Walmart. I have high BP and I'm on medication for it.
December 23, 200817 yr Author You didn't put a quarter in to make it work did you? :lol: Heck no, im too cheap for that.
December 23, 200817 yr Heck no, im too cheap for that. Haha, I always do the one at Wal Mart and it always says I have high BP (but I probably do, so...)
